I needed it for my desktop (specs in sig), however it is VERY slow. I tried the same clients on the access point Edimax CAP1200 ( similar wifi parameters) and there were different results.Ĩ01.11n client + CAP1200=200Mbps up/down, 801.11ac client + CAP1200=450Mbps up/down.Since it was cheap and it had awesome reviews. So 801.11n client + IAP207=200Mbps up/down, 801.11ac client + IAP207=200Mbps up/down.Ĩ01.11ac client is notebook with Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260Ģ00Mbps up/down is good value for an 801.11n client, but for client 801.11ac it's a bad value. This is the maximum speed of this device in 801.11ac? I have a client 801.11n (notebook with intel centrino advanced-n 6205) and the speed is the same. Maximum speed download/upload is approx 200Mbps. Subject: Wireless download speed only get 200Mbps on Aruba iap 207 If you like to now more about wireless, i would recommend you to buy the CWNA trainings guide. You can pay a load of money without getting the effort on this. IAP-325/IAP-335 make sense when you have very high density clients like a convergence room but pretty useless for a home environment or default office use with less clients. Other models maybe have 4x4:4 antenna but your macbook cant use it. Whatever IAP model your buy an IAP-305 meet the specs of your macbook capabilities and can do 3 spatial stream at VHT 80Mhz. If your air is not clean enough and or moving some feet away rates are quickly much lower. in a very clean air, so you macbook hardware can do maximum around 780Mbit if your are lucky. This 1300Mbit data rate is the modulation rate, not the real data throughput! The real throughput should be around 60% aprox max. 1300Mbit by 3x3:3 at 80Mhz by a RSSI of -51dBm. modulation mode of 256QAM that give you a data rate of max. Look at the table i send you in the first topic your macbook can do max.

Your Mac Book Pro 2018 have an 802.11AC chipset with 3x3:3 antenna and have support to max. If you applications really need 1Gbit.Cable it!.
1Gbit wireless is really hard to get with any type of access points and very depend on air quality and client capabilities. Whether your applications really need 500Mbit throughput you can do better wire them in the first place. Dont stare blindly at the maximum throughput but go for reliability. speed are very depend on air quality, interference sources, neighbors, channel utilization, density of wireless devices, drivers, and so on. 400Mbit 10 meter behind a cinder block wall (when the AP is set to 15mW EIRP transmit power). 600Mbit when iam close to the ap with line of sight. My iPhone 8 with 802.11AC wave2 2x2:2 get speeds to max. I did a quick test for you on a IAP-305 that i put on I connect a iPerf sensor (WLANpi) directly to the uplink interface of the AP so there is no delay from some other hops in the network. If you look for a second hand the AP-300 is more available and some cheaper choice.
#Edimax download speed series#
When you looking to buy a new AP-300 series your can better look for an AP-500 series with 802.11ax wifi-6. The IAP-315 is a 802.11AC wave 2 access point with 2x2:2 on 2.4Ghz and 4x4:4 antenna on 5Ghz (your macbook dont have provit from the 4th antenna) The IAP-305 is a 802.11AC wave 2 access point with 2x2:2 on 2.4Ghz and 3x3:3 antenna on 5Ghz (equal to your macbook pro). The IAP-207 is a 802.11AC wave 1 access point with 2x2:2 antenna.
Netgear test show -32 RSSI (much stronger signal).IAP-207 test show -59 RSSI (ok signal)(see also MCS index table).It also depends a lot on signal strength and Signal-to-noise ratio that are not the same in both of your test reports on your macbook pro. throughput is roughly 50% of this rates in many cases. throughput is much lower and depends on many factors, interference, etc. Please note the data rates are negotiation rates, the max. Your macbook show it use MCS Index 9 modulation mode and rates in the below list. Only use 80Mhz channel when your spectrum is 100% clean. throughput depends on interference in the air. Saying that i see you use 80Mhz width channels, wider channels have more throughput but are more sensitive to interference, a lot of max.
So the hardware specs of the netgear and the iap-207 are not the same. A Macbook Pro 2018 have a Wireless chipset that support 3 streams.The Aruba IAP-207 have 802.11AC with 2x2:2 radio chains and streams on both radios.The Netgear R7000 have 802.11AC with 3x3:3 radio chains and streams on both radios.
